@vivtek If you're looking to dig into the literature on this, the places I'd go to would probably be The Knowledge Illusion (Fernbach and Sloman), about which I had to cut 500 words, and which has a great bibliography, and The Extended Mind—probably the original 1998 Clark & Chalmers paper although the recent popsci (non-derogatory) book by Annie Murphy Paul may be good too, idk, and certainly more up to date.

@vivtek iirc the Fernbach/Sloman book refers to several of studies about the tendency to mistake (roughly) externally located knowledge for internal, which may connect to the mixed-source memory scaffolding you're describing.

@kissane Huh, so Chalmers touched on that, too. I guess that's no surprise. I'll add it to the list. Thanks! Like I say, I honestly don't expect even to do much reading in this area for another year or two, but I often cheat and read ahead for fun. :-)
